If your hair is too wet, then the curls may be weighed down by the moisture in your hair. Your hair should be wet enough to style.
You may also choose to pin the pencils to your hair and sleep with them overnight. This will allow for the most natural curl.
Use a wide-toothed comb for curly hair and a fine-toothed comb for straight hair.
For extra hold, spritz hairspray when holding the coiled hair. [6] X Research source
